If we would like to attend conferences, how is the process working? Should we leave academic leave, or we use weekends for that or do we need to use our vacation times
@@seymabayram5510 congratulations! Different programs have different trip attendance policies. For our program the trip attendance is separate from our vacation. To get reimbursed for trip related expenses you would still need to apply for approval through your program / GME. Additionally, to ensure The trip does not impact your rotation you would need to also get approval from your program and discuss with your chiefs. Usually arranging coverage on outpatient rotations is easier than inpatient. So bottom line is, plan early and give your program and chiefs an early notice (several months prior if possible). If the conference is later in the year, the program I even be able to switch you from an inpatient rotation to an outpatient rotation if given an early enough notice. If the conference is on a weekend, arranging coverage while you are away won't be an issue but it would still be advisable to apply for approval so that you can get reimbursed for the trip expenses.
Thanks for the great suggestion. Most of my videos are based on my own experience and since I did not go through SOAP, I may not be the best person to speak about it. However i will definitely look into it and consider making a SOAP video with key tips
Awesome!
Thank you Apurva!
